The ICAC has charged three individuals—two former bank employees and a mortgage referral agent—for bribery and fraud involving unauthorized loan referrals and false claims for referral fees exceeding $34,000. Amy Chow, a former assistant manager at OCBC Bank, Yip Man-yee, a mortgage referral agent, and Mak Miu-ling, a former deputy manager at ICBC (Asia), face charges for fraud and conspiracy. Between August 2019 and March 2021, Chow allegedly referred clients to ICBC (Asia) without permission from OCBC and falsely claimed fees, resulting in financial gains for the trio. They are scheduled to appear in court for plea on October 18. Both banks have cooperated fully with the ICAC during the investigation.
